♥ Happy Father's Day ♥

For all the father's in the world     ->    Happy Father's Day

This morning two little kids where in the kitchen baking for DH

 And proud they where.........

Look at this.. and then waking up to daddy, who totally forgot it was father's day, so it was a really big surprise..

hihihihi

He loved it, and his wonderfull handmade presents by the kids

And what do you think that they are doing now???

From yesterday I have 3 kids, not 2..

Noah wants a racetrack for his next birthday, but i know Dh still has one from when he was little, so yesterday, he took it from the attic, and put in on the table..

So since yesterday, my ears are hearing many many many HARD sounds from the diner-table, but they are having fun.. it was very rusty.. so he is cleaning/trying/cleaning/trying......

***

This week was the last week for Noah's substitute teacher, he is loving her, and feeling so sad that she is leaving..

Years ago I found a pattern on a blog, and was saving it.. few weeks back I found it again, and made it

 Noah wrote his name on it, still being a bit ill

"my teacher is the sweetest"

Noah told me she liked it very much..
he was crying so much........=((((

But a happy face came when he got home and saw that the blue airplane was a bit further...

And getting very very big ♥ :))))

isn't it pretty in blue???

I'm loving this project..

This week I got the night-shift, I will take it with me, so when it's quiet I can crochet a bit...

***

This Friday I babysit our neighbor girl, Noah's girlfriend, 

can you imagine they had the best time of there life!!!

First we baked pancakes

* Roses before Sister Act *

Last weekend FIL came to me, and said he wanted to give MIL a great gift for her birthday.

A ticket to teh new musical Sister Act, who Whoopi Goldberg helped making in the Netherland.

But he didn't like to go and asked me if I would like to go...

wanne know my answer?????   YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!

Yesterday was her birthday, and we also booked the Sisteract also for yesterday.

DH called up her boss so she had a free day today, because we would stay the night in a hotel.

It was a suprise for her.. and she likes it very much.

In teh morning, when kids wake-up, they gave her a little present I made for them to give

So yesterday we went to SISTER ACT.. and I was so lucky to go with her

We had to drive to Scheveningen it's west in the Netherlands

it's at the coast, so we walked by the beach.

It was very windy, and just yesterday it also was a bit cold, not much sun.. 

♥ ♥ but we had fun ♥ ♥ 

Then we had a lovely diner, I asked if they could do something with her dessert

 Look at this

isn't sweet... and yummy!!!!!

Then -----> the Musical Sister Act

It really was awesome....

So beautiull

Everybody who like sthe movie, or musicals, really need to go to it..

Whoopi helped directing it..

It really was AWESOME!!!!!

Then we also had free tickets to Holland Casino, I had never been there, so love to take a look

The night was still young, so we went to the beach again, and dronk some wine at a cute place with a live music band..

Back at the hotel we found this on our room

Look at all that chocolate.... mmmmmmmmmm

 YUMMY

                ***

Next morning after a wonderfull breakfast we went back home, because the kids started Satetday with Chicken-pox... poor kids..

After 24 hours of being away at home, teh gave me a big scare.. there faces, there bodys, so many chicken-pox..

Poor kids... Both also have fevers.. so they are very ill..

Kira don't have much problems with teh chicken-pox, she also don't have that many.. 

But poor Noah.. his body and face are totally full of them.. 

It hurts, it itch... he has it really bad

Look at this

In real it are much more.......

Can you imagine with only that name Noah had a blast??

And mommy was so so so so afraid.. his first away with 50 other kids... OMG....

But he had so much fun, that makes it all OK

Wanne know what he liked best???

On the way back, just before they got back they needed to bend over, so it looked like the bus was empty..

We as parents thought they forgot the kids.. whahahah ;))))

He like that so much..

For days he's telling everybody about the blue playground, asked me often when we will go.. hihi

So MIL and FIL just went home, kids are in bed, and here I'm.

I still have so much too show.. I don't know where too start.

Just before we went on vavation I made Kira a summer dress 

Isn't she beautifull...

I made a same kind of dress last year for her

look at this cute pic, it's a year ago when we where at the coast in Belgium for my Mil's 60th B-day.

So little with those chubby legs.. hihi

For Noah I started a crochet piece on vacation

A dark blue airplane

See the Orange airplane.. that one I'm ging to make in dark blue as you see.

Was crochting a bit more on the why back home in the airplane till I run out of thread.

I ordered new ones

Then a little things i did on vacation..

I went for a tattoo.. =)))))

...

...

...

hihihi kidding... it's a real real FAKE one..

When we had the camel trip, there was a woman who made beautifull henna tattoo's

I never had done that... and when I saw the butterfly on teh board I needed to think on Valérie..

So I aked for that.

See sweet Valérie.. I was thinking of you on my vacation.

This is what she made

                                                                     * ♥ * ♥ *

♥ Missed me?? ♥~

It's more then 2 weeks that I posted......

Reason???

I've been on vacation too Tunesia =)))) in Africa

We came back last Thursday night and went a away on a weekend again on Friday morning.

So we kept our selfs busy.

But lets go back too the BIG vacation.

So sorry then I didn't say anything about it..

I will try and make up for that with al kinds of lovely photo's and storys.

I only have 1 poblem. ;(

When I put the pictures from my camera on my laptop, a lot of beautifull pictures went lost.

I'm so mad about that

We went away on Saterday morning at 7.00 with the airplane.

Most of you will know I'm very afraid of flying.

But with 2 kids, you don't have time to think about yourself....hihihihihi :))))))

For me it was so COOL to go to AFRICA.. never thought I could go there

The weather was wonderfull about 24 degrees, sunny, a bit windy at the coast

In the night is was cold, so the outside pool was cold also but thankfully there was a inside pool.

(pic's of the outsie pool I lost)

On the 4th day we went to a Animal parc, the nr two of Tunesia.

It was a very beautifull parc, to bad I don't have any film of picture of that again

I'm so so so mad... grrrrrrr

Pictures I found on the web, in that parc where so many beautifull different tigers, loved them

On the 6th day, we went to a dinner/show.

We saw a traditional wediing, and after dinner we got a show  outside with lasers over the last 3000 years of Tunesia, It was really awesome.

So beautifull.

The next day we went on a camel trip

From the beginning we booked this vacation, I told DH I wanted to do this.. 

I thought it would be so cool.. and it was.

It was such a great experience, First it was Dh and Noah, and Me and Kira on a camel, after a stop, Noah and Kira wanted on the donkey.

Our guide, told me to go with Dh on a camel and she would stay with the kids, we all had so much fun.

Also we coulf give the camel a big kiss.. hihi

Put a piece of cactus in your mouth and then give it too the camel..

Noah went first and last, he loved it so much.

Al who didn't had a hat got hatcloth, so I bought one.

Aren't I pretty =)))))))))))

The camel also is crazy about Coca Cola

Can you see it?

He gets the bottle with his mouth and then puts it up so he can drinks it empty, after that he drops it from his mouth.. it was so cool too see.

After that there also was a problem..

As Noah was allergic for most animals, we hoped it would went well..

I don't think the camel was a problem, but when he got on the donkey, the problem started..

We noah after a allergic reaction, his asthma will come up, and it did. 

2 days later on Sunday he was so so sick.. poor little boy, after he got eat a bit he wante dto play and play, so we thought maybe he could go with us also too the city, beceause when he was playing he looked fine.In one of the stores he throw up, a men brought us to a hospital, after he fainted a few times, he got some medican from the doctor

And in the evening we should be begter and he was.

the day's after that we didn't do nothing then swim and rest to hope that Noah was all better to fly back.. and he did.

The whole week we swim the in inside swimming pool.

A few times we went to the beach

also here lost a lot of wonderfull pictures... this is all I still have.

Every day there was a mini club twice and in the evening a mini disco.

Noah loved it so much.. and the girl of the animation, he was in love with.

 I see I;m working already a few hours on this post..

I have shown you the most I could show.

The rest is all gone, and I hate it so much..

But can't help it......

We had a wonderfull vacation..

I wanne go back.. take new pictures and enjoy the weather, her the wetaher is bad.. rain cold.. =((((

Have great work week..

I need to work in the morning..
